The core problem with A.I. (lemmy.world)

I knew I wasn’t interested in A.I. for a while now, but I think I can finally put it into words.

A.I. is supposed to be useful for things I’m not skilled at or knowledgeable about. But since I’m not skilled at or knowledgeable about the thing I’m having A.I. do for me, I have no way of knowing how well A.I. accomplished it for me.

If I want to know that, I have to become skilled at or knowledgeable about the thing I need to do. At this point, why would I have A.I. do it since I know I can trust I’m doing it right?

I don’t have a problem delegating hiring people who are more skilled at or more knowledgeable about something than me because I can hold them accountable if they are faking.

With A.I., it’s on me if I’m duped. What’s the use in that?

The core problem with "AI" is the same as any technology: capitalism. It's capitalism that created this imaginary grift. It's capitalism that develops and hypes useless technology. It's capitalism that ultimately uses every technology for violent control.

The problem isn't so much that it's useless to almost everybody not in on the grift.. . The bigger problem is that "AI" is very useful to people who want to commit genocide, imprisonment, surveillance, etc. sloppily, arbitrarily, and with the impunity that comes from holding an "AI" as responsible.

I meant the core reason why A.I. doesn’t do what it’s being sold to do. Your posts are completely valid and much more serious.
